Zendaya had all eyes on her as she returned to the 2024 Met Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, after a five year hiatus. 

The Euphoria star, 27 — who is a co-chair of the event alongside Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth — ruffled a few feathers in her metallic peacock-colored Maison Margiela by John Galliano gown. 

The blue and green bias-cut dress featured a mermaid tail and grape embellishments to fit with this year's garden theme. The star accessorized it with a fascinator with a long black feather. 

The actress, who last attended fashion's biggest night in 2017,  added height to her look with custom-made Tabi pumps by Christian Louboutin for Margiela.

The beauty added more drama to her look with bright pink eyeshadow and black lipstick. She was styled by her longtime collaborator Law Roach.

A press release for her look revealed that 'John Galliano specially created an haute couture look for co-chair Zendaya composed of a sage lamé and organza bias-cut dress worn over a duchess satin corset.'

'The dress features bands of hand-painted metallic crin, a drape and bow layered from aluminum material and iridescent organza, and a corsage hand-embroidered with natural motifs hand-painted in electric blue and emerald, green.'

'Zendaya's hand-painted plume-like veil and hat wrapped in stockings was created by Stephen Jones for Maison Margiela.'

Expectations were high for the star, following a successful promotional tour for her last two films Challengers and Dune 2, where she raised the fashion bar at every red carpet. 

The gown was not a hit with all her fans.

'I'M CRYING MY MOM SAW ZENDAYA'S DRESS AND SAID "Oh, is the theme fruit?" one Twitter user wrote.

'Does Zendaya finally have a miss?' another asked. 

However, many others were impressed, with one fan writing, 'Zendaya came and brought all the drama #MetGala2024.'

The Costume Institute's spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code is The Garden of Time. 

The honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.

'This year's co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,' Vogue shared.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute's permanent collection - with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again. 

The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky.

'It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,' said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.

The gown was not a hit with all her fans. 'I'M CRYING MY MOM SAW ZENDAYA'S DRESS AND SAID "Oh, is the theme fruit?" one Twitter user wrote

There were plenty of memes with one writing the star reminded them of the Miss Spider character

Another said she looked like a Tim Burton character 

Her choice of makeup was also in question 

However, many other fans were pleased with her look and praised Zendaya for her style

'Zendaya never disappoints,' one fan wrote 

'One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.'

Guests expected to attend include the Kardashians, Blake Lively, Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker and Timothee Chalamet.

Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham are hosting while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain is expected to interview stars on the red carpet.

ZENDAYA'S MET GALA LOOKS OVER THE YEARS

BY HEIDI PARKER

 Zendaya has always made a splash when at the annual fashion event The Met Gala held in New York City.

The Oakland, California native has been five times before: in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. 

This year the 27-year-old Spider-Man veteran will be going up the famous Met Museum steps for the first time in five years. 

The Dune actress is set to co-chair the event alongside Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth and Bad Bunny.

The siren said in late April she finds the Met Gala 'terrifying'. During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, she told the hosts: 'Going up the steps is very daunting, and I haven't been back for maybe four or five years. So this is, like, my first time back at the Met in quite a while.'

The dress code will be The Garden of Time, which is said to be inspired by the J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same name. 

Vogue has explained the dress code will be about 'fleeting beauty.'
